THY KINGDOM COME INVITATION

The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, Lord Wallace of Tankerness, has written a letter of support encouraging congregations to join in with this year’s Thy Kingdom Come global prayer initiative, which takes place from Ascension Day to Pentecost Sunday (Thursday May 26 – Sunday June 5).

Thy Kingdom Come, which has been running since 2016, invites Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus.

Over the course of the 11 days, it is hoped that everyone who takes part will deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ, pray for five friends or family members to come to faith, and pray for the empowerment of the Spirit that we would be effective in our witness.

This year, Thy Kingdom Come launches with brand new resources for individuals, congregations and church groups to use, including a series of youth video reflections, a new edition of the Prayer Journal, a Novena, as well as the return of the popular Cheeky Pandas animations for younger children.

In his letter, Lord Wallace said: “It is with a concern for prayer that I write to you to commend the Thy Kingdom Come global prayer initiative for 2022.

“In November 2018, the Church of Scotland committed ‘to encouraging all its parishes and people to join in Thy Kingdom Come’ and we have done so in the years since then and I gladly do so once more.

“May I encourage you to consider participating in this global prayer initiative at a time when our world stands in the need of prayer.”
